Pay What You Can Soup & Bread

This is where it all began! When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, Cassidy was in school and planning to head to Alaska in the Summer for a job cooking at a backcountry lodge. Suddenly her job was no longer, and she was left with a lot of time, and a feeling of needing to do something to address all the fear she felt and was witnessing in the world.

So, Pay-What-You-Can Soup and Bread was born. What started as a service for her close neighbors, has expanded to feeding 50 people a week, homemade, nourishing soups, salads and sourdough bread. On any given week, about a third to half of those fed are in need of nourishment, and the cost of feeding them is fully covered by other neighbors!

This program works because neighbors are helping neighbors! Cassidy is excited to continue to offer this service for anyone living in Albuquerque, into the future.

Join our email list to get a weekly menu sent to your inbox. Ordering happens right here on the website!

This offering sells out every week. So sign-up quickly!! Orders due by 5 pm Tuesday for Wednesday delivery.

And know, people in need of nourishment will **ALWAYS** be given first priority, and provided food.

Here’s how it works:

New for summer - add a salad to your order, suggested donation $10.00 (see this weeks menu for details).

1. Soups (always one vegan and one meat), Salad (new seasonal salads offered each week), and bread (always the Country Boule and one specialty flavor) will be announced on Mondays via email. Soup and Bread orders will be accepted through 5 pm Tuesday. Soup and Bread will be delivered between 4-6 pm Wednesdays (NOTE THE NEW DAY!) to your front door.

2. To order: Scroll down just a bit further, and fill out the form. Remember to complete the form and submit it, before clicking on the “Make Contribution Here” button to ensure your order is captured. To complete your order we need your address, and a number to text when we deliver your food. (If you can’t receive texts, please note that in special instructions section.) Soup, Bread and Salad are delivered on Wednesdays, Extras are delivered on Fridays. You will receive an email confirming your order. If special consideration needs to be made for ordering, contact Cassidy directly at 303-913-8897.

3. To Pay: This service is offered on a contribution basis. We suggest at least a $10 contribution per order of soup (which comes with a quarter loaf of bread), at least a $10 contribution for local and seasonal salads, a $10 contribution for a whole loaf of regular bread, and $12 contribution for the speciality loaf. Venmo payment is preferred and can be sent to @cassidytg , you can also make your contribution below, or make arrangements to pay via cash or check contribution at the door.

4. Your Delivery: Pay-what-you-can Soup and Bread (and Salad) are delivered on Wednesday’s between 4-6 pm. Extras and Meal Kits are delivered on Fridays between 2-6 pm. Please Note, these delivery times are our goal, but are not guaranteed. There are times that we will need to deliver outside of these times. If that is the case, we will call you.

Important, the value of one soup and bread meal is about $10, but what makes this work is if some community members can pay more for others that cannot pay at all.

I will never turn away someone who cannot pay. I want everyone to get a warm meal and nourishment no matter their financial situation.

Pay-What-You-Can Soup and Bread works because neighbors are helping neighbors!

We are in this together.

Thanks for your support and community spirit!

A suggested $10.00 contribution includes one serving of soup (16 oz.) and quarter loaf of bread.

The Summer Salad option is also a suggested $10.00 contribution.

If you prefer the specialty bread please consider and additional $2.00-$3.00 donation.

If you would like bread by the loaf, the Country Boule is $10.00 and Specialty Breads are $12.00.
